Chimp heart graft patient dies
CAPE TOWN, South Africa-Doctors
at Groote Schuir Hospital here blamed
circulatory failure for the death early
yesterday of Benjamin Fortes, the first
man ever to have a chimpanzee's heart
graftedinto his chest to back up his own
failing heart.
The Cape Town accountant, 59, lived
for 31 days with the "piggy back"
heart beating beside his own. It was
implanted in a four-hour operation
Thursday night by a Groote Schuur
surgical team headed by heart tran-
splant pioneer Dr. Christiaan Barnard.
FORTES, married and the father of
three, was the second recipient of a
chimpanzee heart transplant, but the
first to get one as an auxiliary pump. In
1964, Dr. James Hardy of the Univer-
sity of Mississippi replaced a 68-year-
old man's heart with that of a chimpan-
zee. The man died two hours after

surgery.
Banard had said the chimpanzee heart
implant' was a temporary measure.
Hospital sources said the surgeon plan-
ned to remove the animal heart when a
human organ became available.
Barnard was unavailable for com-
ment following Fortes' death.
AT MIDDAY Sunday, the hospital re-
ported Fortes in satisfactory condition,
and a spokesman said it might take two
weeks to determine is his body would
reject the animal heart.
A statement issued by the hospital
yesterday said Fortes' "condition star-
ted deteriorating at about 11 o'clock
Sunday night. All attempts to improve
the circulation failed, and he died.
yesterday morning.
"The cause of deterioration in the
circulation is not known, and will only
be established when details from the
post-mortem examination become
available."
In the past three years, Barnard, who
performed the world's first successful
human heart transplant a decade ago,
has carried out 17 straight successful
piggyback implants, using a second
human heart in each case. He and his
cardiac team pioneered the piggyback
technique in an operation on a 58-year-
old man in 1974.
Last June, Barnard, 53, made his first
attempt with an animal'heart, grafting
a baboon's heart into the chest of a 26-
year-old Italian woman. The woman,
Marilena Mattiuzzo Portello, lived only
four hours.
After the operation, Barnard said the
baboon heart "just couldn'd cope with
carrying the full circulation."
